RE: [MarcosManiacs] MARCOS XP

2002-04-12 by Jeff Caraway

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the links!
I had run across your model site when first investigating Marcos (before
I got my car), but had since lost the link.
Being a model collector myself, I love having your site as a reference
and will certainly put links to it on the Maniac's site.
BTW, where on earth did you find some of that stuff? I'd love to get my
hands on some of them like the Provence kits.
Do you know if anyone ever made any 1:18th scale Marcos cars? (That's my
scale of preference)
 
Regarding the XP site. Great job!!!!! I love it!
You are one lucky guy! Not only do you have a beautiful Marcos of your
own, but you got to see the most elusive Marcos first hand. And got to
ride in it too!!! That's great!
I'll certainly put a link to this site on the Maniac's site as well and
would like to thank you for sharing that with all of us.
 
BTW, those cooling fans that were added to the XP look like old desk-top
plug-in type fans. Is that what they were?
 
Best Regards,
Jeff Caraway

Hi Jeff,

I've only been looking in on the Marcos Maniacs for a few week, this
Group
and your web site are first class, keep up the work. It's great to see
how
strong the group is especially, in the US.

I know have two Marcos related web sites. My first....

http://www.1600gt.freeserve.co.uk/

was set up a year or so ago in an attempt to catalogue all of the
various
scale models of the range of Marcos cars. And is being updated on a
regular
basis as I find more that I have missed, or when FLY the slot car
manufacturer releases a new car.

But my second site, which is the purpose of this notice, that tells the
story of the Marcos XP and my visit to see the car some years back.
Something I'll never forget!

Anyway, as promised here is the URL for that web site on the Marcos XP.
Hope
you and the others enjoy it.........

I've kept the graphics high quality and so over a modem, it's not the
fastest loading site.
But its worth it!!


Cheers,
Dave.
